Grants to Community Media Productions

YELLOW SPRINGS, OHIO —
Reinvention Stories is a non-fiction multimedia project consisting of a public radio series, website and feature-length documentary, all of which collect and present stories of how people and communities in Dayton, Ohio are creating new jobs and professional identities for themselves and re-envisioning a future for their city. Reinvention Stories will film, crowd-source, and present a wide range of personal stories that reveal the many ways in which a post-industrial city faces and responds to profound and often undesired economic change. A MacArthur grant will support costs associated with the film's production, post-production, and the building of the website.

The MacArthur Foundation awarded Community Media Productions $80,000 between 2002 and
